fester wrote:Hi guys,I spotted this thread and thought I'd post. I have a spare white box available, which is from the 6th print (I think!).Strangely, someone used it to package some goods I bought from them via ebay!!The condition is very good to excellent, with no splits or marks and is not crushed, with only a slight indenting of the bottom tray (and this is minimal).I haven't seen any other white boxes to compare this against (as I don't own the books), but in my not very professional opinion, the box is in damn fine shape!If there is any interest, I can post some pictures and I'd be happy to place on ebay. It's just sitting in my cupboard, so it may as well go to a good home.Anyway, let me if you're interested.Oh, I should point out I'm UK based.

By the way, what edition are your booklets?
You see?White boxes crop up like mushrooms these days
